I am in love with this photo album. My parents are both old school Fall 86/Spring 88 and I love looking back at their old pictures. Pledging was 10x harder back then but at my core I wish i could’ve had that kind of experience.

All of a sudden, I feel old. I pledged Spr 87 on a charter line. Out of curiosity, why would you want our experience?

I may be wrong but I feel like people who pledged “old school” have a greater respect for their organizations and are more serious about the work of their orgs. And I feel like the ties betweens line brothers or sisters were wayyyyyyyyy stronger.

First, Honey-The Writer, I’m assuming this is your article based on the name. I’m going to be respectful, i don’t know where you got this information from for slide “18, the Kappa line is correct. But no Lamp is in this picture. The 1988 Lampodos line at Lincoln University, Beta Chapter, was the Lone Dog, Solitary Soldier. You know how I know, because that Lamp was me, Marcus “Tym-X” Harris. I would appreciate it, if at all possible, to edit the comment about Omega Psi Phi out of this article. If need be I can send you a picture of a 1988 Omega Psi Phi, Fraternity, Beta Chapter Lampodos line, me! This is for the author, if Honey-The Writer is not the author disregard not for you!

Mr. Harris, I’m just seeing this. None of this comment you wrote is pertaining to me. I am not the person who wrote this article my username is simply “Honey — The Writer” for my disqus account.

Why is there only one photo for Sigma Gamma Rho? I can point you to numerous sources of old school pledging photos of Sigma Gamma Rho and the Aurora Pledge Club.

Why do you feel the need to hurl insults? Can you not express yourself otherwise? To speak for your “boy” doesn’t make you a subject matter expert. Im a Sigma of 27 years (Pi Chi Chapter) a Past Master, a 32nd Degree Mason, an OES member and member of the AEAONMS (Shrine) and I can tell you that you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Its odd that you would tell others that they are mindless sheep based off of what your “boy” related to you. Neither the BGLO’s or our lodges have direct influence on the other. We have members in both but that is a personal choice. I will not insult you because I don’t agree with you, nor will I call you names for not agreeing with me. There is simply no need for that. I wish you well.

I will NOT share this article. How is it you can dedicate so many pictures of the other orgs but you can only share ONE picture of SGRHO and Iota? Are we not significant enough for you to do your research?

Is photo 17 an SGRho with her pinky up or is there something in the background?

The original hand sign for Sigma Gamma Rho/Aurora Club was the pinky with slight bend at the tip, not straight up in the manner that AKA’s hand sign is. It looks similar in the photo but is not the same.

More pictures of S G Rho should have been included in the interest of fairness. Next time request pics from headquarters.
